Hell, 'Catwoman' starring Halle Berry. Iam still confused by his statement I stopped taking his posts seriously after he complained in the MOTU:R thread that all female or minority-led modern fiction exists to tell white men what worthless, inferior assholes they are.

With cinemas being closed cause 50% of the Australian population in lockdown (Delta is whooping our ass) I had to watch this at home. It's a shame cause it would have looked great on the big screen. Really fun movie. Obviously it's got big GOTG vibes, but the violence kinda reminded me of the old Punisher game on PS2 with it being very over the top.

Annnnnnnnnyway… {Spoiler}I’m curious about how the Peacemaker series will be like, especially if they have Cena play off of those two handlers we saw in the post-credits.

Loved it. After sheer bollocks of the first Suicide Squad and my dislike of Birds of Prey (not starring Oracle/Batwoman) it was cinematic bliss.

I do wonder how the show will play. Unlike, for example, Loki, where the lead is a villain that everybody has grown to love and, Peacemaker isn't particularly likeable, and by killing Flag and trying to kill Ratcatcher 2 he's very firmly not intended to be likeable.

But he’s clearly never going to be the Boy Scouts that Steve Rogers and Sam Wilson are.

Maybe they pit Peacemaker against an even worse villain that makes him look like the good guy(ish) in comparison.

Birds of Prey was a lot of fun. Like even if one had some sort of dislike for it being a bit of DC wants something like Deadpool, Ewan McGregor chewing every bit of scenery was very entertaining. The critics and certain audiences being apt to love every female centric movie? Guess that Elizabeth Banks Charlie's Angels missed the meeting on that one. I feel like I gave it a fair shot but I just couldn’t see what everyone else did. It wasn’t awful but it was the epitome of the criticism DC has gotten for trying to be edgy. Trim a few f-bombs and there is no reason that movie couldn’t have been PG-13. I feel like The Suicide Squad “earned” the R for reasons beyond being edgy.

Yeah, that's my major criticism of BoP. There was no reason for it to be R-rated beyond DC trying to push Harley as their Deadpool proxy, and even Deadpool doesn't need to be R-rated.

When you think about it, the overall concept of Suicide Squad (supervillains forced to do black ops missions for the government or they get their heads blown clean) certainly lends itself better to an R rating more than a PG-13 rating.

Between his own personality flaws and his past catching up to him, that turns out to be a lot harder said then down. Eventually it leads to him settling into a personality more closer to what we see from the character in Blue Beetle.

This movie was fun as hell. I know people on Twitter were piling on Gunn because of the Scorsese thing, but Scorsese’s last good movie was Casino in 1995and James Gunn’s last good movie was in 2021. Looks like Gunn wins this one!

I just realized the reason a certain someone wasn't at the final battle was probably because of what Bloodsport did to get locked up. Maybe it was recent.
Or does the timeline not add up because it seems like his daughter's been visiting him there for awhile? Or is he in and out of the place and my original theory is why he was currently there?

Polk a dot most likely survived. When the Starro arm came down, Polk a dot probably shot a bunch of dots in a fear induced panic. It made a hole big enough for him to fit in and not get crushed. The arm innards were sticky and Polk a dot got stuck on the arm when it went back up. The remaining Suicide members didn't notice afterwards because they pretty much left immediately when the chopper came in.
So he's still alive! You can't convince me otherwise! No, you're crazy!

And he was serving his sentence, so he had already finished all of that. In the original comic Superman was good to go as soon as they got the kryptonite out of him, so it seems unlikely he would still be hung up recuperating for that long. My guess is that Superman was just busy and didn't find out about the Starro situation until after it was over. It happens.

You don't even have to have a reason why another hero wasn't at such and such battle in this or any other comic movie, MCU included. The argument always sort of puzzles me. (Not that anyone here is making it, just generally).
Even with a shared universe, why didn't Thor show up to help out Iron Man during his 3rd movie? It's not his comic book, he isn't in this issue.
